If you are a company where your business is providing disk space for random files of a subscriber, you'll need to deal with law enforcement. But it's not likely that the business will be liable for the contents of those files unless they completely ignore any credible notification of illegalities. For the average Joe running a random piece of software that allows him to sublet his excess storage likely would have a lot more scrutiny and a lot more hassles proving those files aren't his.
I look at it like someone being caught transporting drugs. If they were shipped via UPS, Fedex, or USPS, the courier and company aren't going to be arrested. But if you or I got pulled over and drugs were found in a box that we were "just delivering for someone", we probably would be.
It was introduced in the middle of last year in the House, where it was summarily sent to a subcommittee to die. It had no chance as a bill with zero Republican sponsors ever passing the House, just as it will quickly die in this Congress.
Having multiple different channels of the same network isn't the problem. While I'm not sure anyone watches all of the ESPN stations at once, I think if you took a sports fan that wanted to subscribe to the "ESPN channel" that you would get all those channels. Same with Discovery, CSPAN, whatever that has multiple variations on the same basic channel.
The diversity of channels and forced bundling as it stands today is for instance Viacom insisting that if you want to receive Comedy Central, that you must also receive (and more importantly to them, pay for) Nickelodeon, MTV, VH1, Spike, TV Land, etc. I like watching a few shows on CC, but I don't watch anything on the other channels yet I'd have to pay for them as part of the forced bundle.
It figures that this news comes out now. Yesterday I ordered 3 QI receivers for my family's Galaxy S4 phones and 8 charging pads to charge them and two other tablets. I'll eventually get to toss em on on the pile of technology I was on the losing side of, next to the HD-DVDs, plasma screen, Betamax player...
I can't comment on glass or carbon fiber filled filaments, but for Laywood and Laybrick (more like sandstone than brick) it's more about texture and appearance than physical strength properties.
I was at a 3D printing show last year and saw several architectural prints that used Laybrick and they looked amazing. And several Laywood organic designs looked equally impressive. Upon examination you could tell that they weren't actually wood (at least solid wood) but the weight, shading variations, and texture made it feel different than just a piece of normal filament.
Cyptowall was recently being distributed by yahoo ads via a compromised flash ad http://news.yahoo.com/yahoo-ad.... You could have received it by going to your favorite news site.
That article makes no mention of a compromised flash ad. It actually doesn't mention any type of compromise or flash. Yahoo ads served up an ad that took people to a server that could lead to a compromise. Just visiting a page that had that Yahoo ad didn't compromise your machine.
Because in order to use a Sling Box to stream those channels, you need to have a cable/satellite service to provide the content. This service streams the channels so you don't have to subscribe to a traditional cable or satellite provider at a rate most likely higher than $20 a month.
It's possible that this service isn't better than other options for some viewers. It may be exactly what others are looking for. It's never a bad thing to have multiple options, especially in an sector that's typically a monopoly or oligopoly.
While that helps prevent your credentials from being used on other sites successfully, that doesn't do much to protect your credit card information. If they are that lax and don't care about your user credentials, what makes you think they don't just store everything plain text in a database just waiting to be compromised?
So Obama should remain for it for another few weeks, but once the new Congress is in session, be opposed to it. He should also be against Obamacare and against immigration. Republicans won't know what to do.
Andy taught him about gaming by making him play and master all of the old video games and gaming systems in the exact order they were actually released.
So he's forcing his kid to play these games?
Would you question his actions as much if instead of "forcing his kid to play these games", he "forced his kid to read these [age appropriate] books" in the order they were published?
I read it as the order which the games and systems were presented were enforced to follow a specific order of introduction, not that the child was forced to do something against his will.
Not to mention the image implies it's a SSD. The defragmentation of the drive probably did far more "harm" to the drive from the point of unnecessary writes then what the log files contributed.
The real heros are the ones that stood up after they had started waterboarding and it just got to the point where they couldn't' handled it any more? No, they aren't heroes. Heroes are the ones that stand up, stop it BEFORE it got to that point. Or if it progressed to the point of no return, quit, and made it as public as they can regardless what their personal consequences are. Heroes don't get to abuse, and then just walk away when it gets too much and still get to be called heroes.
I suppose that you'll also call them victims of terrorism for what they have to live with knowing what they've done too.
I thought the same thing. SFC log file, some antivirus/malware, some.Net housekeeping...a page file...ZOMG! Sounds like pretty much everything that I would expect and would prefer to run while the machine is "idle" rather than do all the things when I'm wanting to use it and would prefer faster performance.
So your profile could look like you want hello kitty, mercedes cars and dating sites.
As oppose to having absolutely no profile information, in which case they'd just display random Hello Kitty, Mercedes cars, and dating site ads anyways. The net effect of the end user hasn't changed, but you've still managed to screw over the advertiser in a small, relatively meaningless way.
Of course it's worth keeping the program. It's much better to capture everything and later realize that you don't need any of it. Or better yet you don't need it for the reason that you thought you would but found another use that is equally beneficial to them. Can you imagine if the Government didn't have it AND they needed it? They might not get re-elected and they just can't have that.
Thank god the English language doesn't have multiple meanings for a word. It would be so awful if we were able to have multiple different types of engineers for different areas. Pretty soon even the guy who drives a train is going to want to be called an engineer.
I've only ever seen that Orion is to facilitate a mission to Mars, not that Orion itself will go to Mars in it's current incarnation. The Space Shuttle program was never intended to enable asteroids spend months or years in orbit, but it facilitated building the ISS which did allow astronauts to do that.
They send out bills. Patients send them money. They send money to the doctor or hospital. They keep ledgers.
They don't need to know detailed medical information.
Almost every bill that I've received has a diagnostic code on it, or a semi-detailed description of what the charge was for. My chiropractor bill showed which specific vertebrae was the focus of the adjustment. My dentist bill had that I had a cavity filled on a particular tooth. The supplier for my CPAP machine listed all the accessories I purchased for my sleep apnea. In all 3 cases, I paid my bill with my flexible spending account debit card, and my insurance company wanted a copy of the detailed bill to insure compliance required by the IRS. If any of those 3 providers used a 3rd party billing company, that company would need to know what the charges were for to include in the invoice. They wouldn't need to know specific results of a lab, or what a prescription was written for (unless they were billing on behalf of say a mail-order pharmacy), but saying they don't need to know detailed medical information isn't completely true. They need to know more than just you owe $X to Dr. Smith.
But it sounds like the service did tell customers they were collecting the information, and required for the consent to do so. It was just buried in a kajilion screens of 6 lines of text each. Shady? Yes. Should be fined? Definitely. Criminally culpable to the point that the guilty need to serve a prison sentence? eh...no so sure.

It's a Slashvertisement. A $30 phone isn't newsworthy, let alone a $30 "enhanced" feature phone.

If you're lucky, that might be your fate. If you're unlucky, you still get to spend time with the lawn, but as fertilizer.
Where do you live that you don't get any rain?
Or use a country code DNS out side the US jurisdiction. Or an IP address. Or...

Good strategy. Go ahead with that plan and let us know how that turns out.

The same people that buy Olympic medals, Superbowl rings, or any other award that the buyer didn't earn/contribute too. It's memorabilia and history.
